Seriously though?  

@Adan Druego  
Pretty much latinos in social media get annoyed of the constant use of the word America to associate the US but not the continent as a whole.
 
It’s pretty understandable that rant, but what can you do about it? Simply move on and let the USA culturize more the rest of the countries.

@AdudefromCHL95
 
Yes, I know, but that’s the joke. Some “Americans” think “America” is the US and the rest of the world just isn’t.
 
I label myself as a resident of the US, because being an American can and should mean being a people living within the Americas.
 
Most “Americans” don’t even realize that they aren’t the only “United States” within North America. The official name of Mexico is The United Mexican State.

Because the Equator Line is the imaginary line in the 0° latitude and divides the earth in 2 hemispheres.
 
In Ecuador there’s a monument that tourists can visit and see the line that divides north and south.

@AdudefromCHL95  
What means “mitad del mundo”?

@AdudefromCHL95  
Wait, everything under Mexico isn’t called south Mexico?

The world from an “American” perspective: Well, you see, there’s America and then there’s Not-America.

‘Muricans when they are ask about Latin America:  
 
^{Hey, it’s been a month that the thread it’s been quiet.}

The girls? They’re over there with their friends. I dare you to go say ‘hello’.
 
Twilight and Starlight? Oh, they’re both sitting over there with their books. Hey, I dare you to go over there and suggest that they used time travel to correct a few of their past… ahem mistakes.
 
Just asking for trouble…
 
In the end, Starlight started crying for over three hours and Twilight just made a quick trip to the little fillies room. And ever since she got back, she’s been literally starring at a picture of herself on the wall at the front book checkout and return desk.
 
Did you know that Twilight has an absolutely perfect library book return record? She’s actually really proud about it.
 
In other sad news, today marks the third year since Dusty Pages, the former librarian, committed suicide. Til this day, its unknown why exactly she did it. Some say she was depressed and they talk about how unfulfilled or rundown she seemed during the two years leading up to, well, that.

It’s not that different from when my grandpa inquiring what someone just said.

Black people, enough said.
 
Native English speakers have enough trouble trying to understand them. I can’t even imagine how non-native speakers must feel.

Why are we conjugating verbs from other languages?
 
I didn’t even realize that there was a second page of comments.

I got off topic. I will get back.
 
English pronounces French words like German and German words like French.

@GarbageHorse  
Okay. It seems I need to reread 1984; perhaps it is more accurate than I remember.
 
But, even if that is true, Orwell was still consistently the worst sort of “democratic socialist”.

@Fleur de Lis  
He’s promoted because the left thinks he was talking about Nazis.
 
He wasn’t talking about totalitarianism, necessarily. He was talking more about a technology-fueled surveillance state which, through confusion and fear, made use of actual force unnecessary in most cases. He hit the nail on the head with newspeak, telescreens, the Two Minute Hate, “we have always been at war with ___”, and the memory hole.
 
We have dictionaries editing words so that what their political opponents already said becomes offensive, then include in “white supremacist” and other meaningless phrases created or modified. We have telescreens everyone willingly carries with them, tracking their every move, listening to their every word, and feeding them a stream of lies straight from Twitter-Facebook-Google. We have 24/7 cable news telling you who to hate and how, even if not why. We have wars no one can articulate why we are in that are usually against our own interests. We have academia editing history to either remove ideas that are problematic or insert new ones that are inclusive, like black Cheddar Man, black Vikings, black Egyptians, black Romans, and you get the idea.
 
I can’t think of something he got wrong, in fact. I don’t know why he wrote it or if he should have, but he was right about it. I don’t know if it’s an accident things have developed exactly that way. No matter, it’s easy to say what was at least sold as a warning has become a guide.

@GarbageHorse  
I did read 1984 at some point, but I think it is a red herring, and not at all accurate to how a totalitarian system works. I also have rather negative opinion of Orwell himself. If he had any influence, it is in assisting the creation of the global trend. He certainly was not red pilled.
 
It is also pretty suspicious how much he is openly promoted.

Apparently Appalachian is the older form, when I looked it up. From a Native American village near present-day Tallahassee, Florida transcribed in Spanish as Apalchen or Apalachen.

@Fleur de Lis  
Appalachia,is what I meant,the Mountains are the Appalachians.  
Oh,and there’s Ticonderoga. Which is also the name of the pencils.

@GarbageHorse  
But fail to caught interest for the common masses, only them and a minor fraction of followers will use that kind of language. I doubt they read Orwell’s book.

@Fleur de Lis  
Orwell was the original red pilled lad. I bet most of us had a similar life experience to his.

@Dex Stewart  
I didn’t know about Appalachian. The spelling makes it look not like native american word. Also, how does a place name drift so far?
 
@GarbageHorse  
And wrote it too.

@AdudefromCHL95  
Leftists know that manipulating language gives them power. They read 1984.

@Fleur de Lis  
 
Cultural Appropriation,or Obliteration?  
Here’s something unique, alot of places around where I live have names with Native American origin.  
Owego,Tioga,Cayuga,Onondaga, Towanda,Appalachian,Saratoga,  
Oswego and a bunch more places.
